I opened my eyes, for some reason I was warm, too warm. I looked down to see Gabriel's head on my chest and his hands were wrapped around me tightly, there was no escape.The more I tried to wiggle out of him, the more his hold tightened and his head shot up. For a moment, I was scared because of the cold and dead look he gave me, but, he smiled it led to that his beautiful signature laugh.“Going somewhere?." He asked and he laid back down on my chest as if he didn't just stare at me like I was a serial killer.“Bathroom." I told him and he grumbled something like a spoilt child before he rolled off and let me pass.“You know, if you want to make sure I'm still in bed when you wake up, you can just strap me to the bed with chains and handcuffs, your hands are like steel."It was not a lie or flattery. Chains and handcuffs would be better, I stretched my body and felt tension in the place his hands had held me.“I'll keep it in mind." He said in a voice that stirred something deep. I

“You're getting married?." She spat.I turned fully to face her.“What?." I asked.”My dad just said something about marriage."“You didn't hear him correctly." She shook her head as if it was just a waste of time to talk to me and she left too.“I guess I was just whispering." Dariel said with that stupid smile.“What has gotten into you " I asked him. “How come I just come home one day to find out that I have a half sister... Do I have brothers too?."“I have a daughter and a son." Dariel said crossing his hands over his chest. “I lost custody of them to my ex-wife."“I have a brother?."“Why do you care... You're no longer my daughter... I'm going to disown you when we're all having dinner tonight, so I better tell you now so it doesn't come to you as a surprise. No daughter of mine is a fool." He walked past me and went the same way my mother and Regalia went.His words were a very mighty blow.He was going to disown me. I wanted to turn around and leave when I heard footsteps co

His movements became faster, harder, more needful. I exploded with a blissful release and he stilled, he moaned my name and said something I couldn't understand and he found his own release too. But, he moved once and then twice before he pulled out.He kissed me once more and brought my pantie from the side. But, before he put it on, he bent down.“What are you doing?." I asked him.“I want to get a taste of you..." He said, his voice was deep and smooth.I didn't protest, my toes curled as his tongue swept over my cunt. He came up.“Want to taste us?." He asked me and I nodded.He smiled a drity smile and he leaned in.I kissed him and tasted the both of us.When I pulled out of the kiss, his eyes were shimmering with love and adoration. After I was fully dressed, I stepped down from the counter and straighten my dress.“Thank you for keeping your hands out of my hair."He didn't smile.His face had turned from grinning and sated to alert and grim.“What?."“You're going to sit away

“thank you, oh Cristela, thank you." My mother cried and she fell on her seat and slumped on the table like boiled vegetable.I turned to look at Brien, he was looking at me through the eyes of a buyer, and he was sizing me up, weighing me as if I was an item. He was wondering if I was really worth it and he smiled at last, he considered me perfect.He was goodlooking, in a conservational way, in a way that didn't draw any attention at all but if you looked at him, he wasn't an eyesore. “Dariel, name your price." Gabriel said one more time. His voice had dropped lower. It crushed something in me, and it truly terrified me. I wanted him to stop trying to strike a deal with Dariel, he has given up so much already, so much. Dariel laughed this time and threw his head back. Mr Cooper was snickering and Criss' face was grave.“When are you all leaving to Budapest?." I asked. “The day after tomorrow." Criss said and he gave me a sympathetic smile.I nodded.“You're coming too, right?." R

Kylee seemed to grow older after I finished my statement.“He's gone." She whispered, I could hardly even hear her. “Gone, where?." I asked her.She shuddered as if thinking of it alone would summon deadly bad luck.“He's stubborn, I...I begged him, he was not listening, it was like I was holding him back and I did not want to be his next target. He—"“You're making no sense."“When Gabriel found out about it, about your involvement in this. He realized that Dariel was playing the asshole just to spite him and make him angry. Dariel could have just told him and save time but he was too scared to confess when he found out about your relationship with Gabriel.... Because Dariel knew that if he told Gabriel one on one what he and Elise had done, Gabriel would have killed him and her and then killed anyone that tries to lay a finger on you," Kylee's breathing was uneven“He's angry Cristela, he had figured it out and he is also very scared and the news was devasting, he can't lose you, a
